Chapter 19: The Flood of '93
After watching Chen Si and Xiao Ergou walk out, Qingyang Lao Dao, who was staying alone in the thatched house, let out a muffled snort, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"It's really a strange thing to wear a Taoist ancestral tattoo when you hit the mother's womb, if it weren't for Lao Tzu sealing him when he was a child, TNND, this worship will not let me live for three years. Ouch, no, I'll have to slow down......"
……
"Senior brother, you can live here for the time being, and I will help you tidy it up later." Xiao Ergou took Chen Si into the neat utility room in the collapsed Taoist temple, and said with a smile.
Chen Si looked at the dusty and leaky utility room and sighed.
This condition is really not good.
"Got it, little master."
"Don't call me junior master in the future, since you have also become the master's apprentice, just call me senior brother in the future." Xiao Ergou spoke, but his hands were not free at all, and he began to tidy up the room. "The master is just me and your two apprentices, and you can call me senior brother."
"Senior brother, I'll do it myself." Seeing the immature figure of Xiao Ergou there, Chen Si was really a little careless.
"Let's go together, let's finish tidying up quickly and go take care of the master."
"Good"
……
Counting nine cold days, although Chen Si was panting and sweating a layer of fine sweat as he moved around in the utility room, the cold wind outside blew in through the holes in the wall, which still made him a little unbearable.
I already feel panicked during the day, what is the problem at night? You can't freeze half your life if you sleep here.
"Senior brother, is there any better house in our Taoist temple, there are so many holes in the walls of this utility room, and the wind is pouring into it, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand it at night."
"No, this is the best one left."
"Why don't I go to the thatched hut at night and squeeze with the senior brother first, and then I will sleep here after the hole in the wall is repaired?"
"Then I'll go and ask the master later."
……
Don't look at the small utility room, but the word sundries is really not a joke, there is everything in it, and there is a room full of piles. It really took a lot of time for the two boys, one big and one young, to clean up this room.
"Whew, it's finally finished."
Chen Si reclined on the thatched pile in the utility room and exhaled, this was finally finished. He stroked his bangs angrily, "Senior brother, why do you say that this Taoist temple doesn't rest and recuperate, and let it be so deserted?" ”
At this time, Xiao Ergou was still turning left and right in the room to see if there was anything else that needed to be tidied up. Hearing Chen Si's inquiry, he followed the example of the master and stroked his non-existent beard: "I don't know why the master doesn't cultivate the Taoist temple, I never asked him." ”
"If we have time, let's repair this temple together, so that the Qingquan Temple can reappear in the rivers and lakes." Chen Si had a thatch in his mouth, looked at the hole in the roof, and didn't know what he was thinking, so he said jokingly.
Xiao Ergou picked up some of the sundries left behind when he was tidying up on the ground, held them in his arms, and smiled childishly at Chen Si, "Okay." ”
"Dog, are you in order? Bring your little brother here. The thatched hut not far away clearly heard the voice of the Qingyang Daoist, full of energy.
"Master, I'll bring my little junior brother over." Xiao Ergou put the sundries in his arms neatly and said hello to Chen Si, "Senior brother, let's go." ”
Chen Si, who had already heard the bark of the Qingyang Daoist, slipped down from the thatched pile early, and when he saw the little second dog put things away, he shouted angrily: "Let'sgo." "Be the first to walk out the door.
What does the junior mean by that? A dog?
Xiao Ergou touched his head, and some of the second monks were confused, and they were stunned for a while. In a blink of an eye, he saw that Chen Si had already gone out, so he didn't bother anymore, grabbed two steps to follow, and walked towards the thatched house.
"Master."
"Master."
"Well, packed up? Chen Si, come here. ”
"Yes."
Chen Si obediently walked to the side of Qingyang Lao Dao and lowered his head slightly.
"Si'er, do you know who helped you choose the four characters in your name?" Qingyang Lao Dao habitually stroked his goatee and said with an unfathomable face.
MDZZ, Chen Si scolded in his heart, and as soon as he saw Qingyang's old appearance, he knew that this master was going to start pretending to be time again. In fact, what the Qingyang Daoist asked this time, Chen Si combined with the previous situation, and he could guess a rough idea.
I heard my mother say that I was saved by my master when I was four years old, and now the master asks himself again, so eight or nine are not far from ten, and the four characters in the name are given by this old and unserious master. Is this hard to guess? It's not hard to guess......
However, in order to cooperate with the master, Chen Si still concealed his "proud" IQ, and pretended to be cute and said: "Master, I can't guess this, and ask the master to make it clear." ”
"I gave it to you, master, and there is a saying in Taoism that there are four seasons of heaven and Taoism, that is, the laws of nature follow the meaning of the alternation of the four seasons. When you were born, there was a vision in the sky, drifting in heavy rain, thundering all over the sky, and the Yongjiang River that runs through Y City has erupted for decades without seeing floods......"
When Chen Si heard that Daoist Qingyang seemed to be talking about his life experience, he immediately straightened his posture and listened attentively. In fact, he was also curious about what had happened in the years he had not yet remembered, especially when he was four years old, why he almost lost his life.
However, when he heard that the flood that broke out in Yongjiang in 98 in Y City seemed to be related to him, he couldn't help but interrupt the words of Qingyang Daoist: "Master, how can the flood that broke out in 98 have anything to do with me?" ”
"Who said it had something to do with you, don't talk nonsense, listen to me."
As soon as he found his senses, Qingyang Daoist was interrupted by Chen Si, his face was unhappy, and he struck a shudder on Chen Si's head.
Okay, you're a master, you're right about everything......
Chen Si snorted in pain, shrunk his neck, did not dare to speak again, and honestly stood next to him and listened quietly to Qingyang's "speech".
"Where did I just go?" Qingyang Lao Dao glared at Chen Si.
"Speaking of ......"
"Speaking of the flood of '98." Before Chen Si could speak, the little second dog who was originally standing at the door also stood by the side of Qingyang Lao Dao at some point, and spoke in advance.
"Ahem." Qingyang Lao Dao cleared his throat, "Si'er, although you were just born when the flood broke out in 98, you should have heard about it later, that time, because there has been no flood in Y City for decades, the flood emergency preparedness work has not been done sufficiently, resulting in a lot of deaths......"
At this time, Chen Si inexplicably remembered the female water ghost of the god of Manujin, and remembered that Ah Chang once said that the main soul of the god of Manujin was locked at the bottom of the river. And there is only one river near Y City, Yongjiang, thinking about it, the god of Manujin is locked at the bottom of the Yongjiang River, is she related to the flood?
